[Chorus]
 
 O, O, O, O, O
 
 I think this
 
 Obie Trice [7X]
 
 O, O, O, O
 
  
  [Obie Trice: talking over chorus]
 
 I'd like to reintroduce myself, haha
 
 If you don't know by now. It's Obie Trice man
  
 
 [1st verse]
 
 I came from nothing solo, straight outta the dumpster hobo
 
 Made up my monster, I was cultivatingly slanging that cocoa
 
 Hated the po po, locally known as abominable snow-o
 
 Later the pig fo' rated the home where I made the dough grow
 
 So on and so fo', the story of us urban negros
 
 Created as equals we wouldn't have to be so eager to mistreat you
 
 We as a people heated in evenings doing these evils
 
 Gotta eat you, be cool, got a kid to feed that'll reach you
 
 Or did it see thru? Or do I just speak thru the EQ just to say I got a hot sequel
 
 When niggaz on the block gotta eat, gotta cop, gotta cot when they caught by the cops
 
 Young Tupac's, laid in the box or they age in a cell blocks, fade away
 
 Brick walls, steel gates, can't wait for the day to be free, that's why I'm
  
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Obie talking over chorus]
 
 Seen it, I done ate it, I done shit it
 
 Slept it, lived it, now I spit it
 
 Shady
  
 
 [2nd verse]
 
 Working that house off an no-doze, got an ounce to roll on
 
 Trying to get rid of the pounds, I gotta whip the bounce, I gotta put that chrome on
 
 Same old song, young nigga thats trying to get some where I come from
 
 Funds, need 'em in abundance, whole bunch, only way a city boy function
 
 In conjunction with selling this substance
 
 Chips stay up, fuck it, glucks keep coming, take another pie out the oven
 
 I'ma be hugging these corners till these corners corner me
 
 But currently, I'm calculating this currency, urgency
 
 Gotta earn a G, uphearnestly, up early when the birds'll sing
 
 It's an emergency, never did occur to me, that the first and the third'll be
 
 Such a thirst for me, life almost took a turn for the worst for me took to see
 
 I finally had a purpose on Earth's surface the seed that was birthing me
 
 [Obie] Gotta do a little soul searching and [Obie] myself personally
 
 And to think all Em had to hear is one verse from me
 
 To confirm and unblur my dreams
 
 Best believe since burst on the scene, I'ma be here certainly
 
 With no uncertainties, yes indeed, I'ma get this cheese and that's why he's
  
 
 [Chorus fades out]
  
 
 [Obie talking over chorus]
 
 That's why I'm
 
 That's what made me
 
 Haha
 
 That's why I'm
 
 Young black man in America
 
 Get up and get yours nigga
 
 I know you struggling man, I been there
 
 I see you
 
 Get up and get yours nigga
 
 Ain't no looking back now
